Perhaps after the separation of the family, the atmosphere of the Chu family was gradually separated. After the New Year, Uncle Chu had some things to do with Uncle Chu's family and Mr. Chu. The approach is increasingly unacceptable.
"Logically speaking, if the elders in this family are celebrating their birthdays, they should send someone to inform the younger ones and their relatives and friends. As a son, I should also be prepared to show filial piety. But listen to what Chu Fang said just now. What are you talking about? This girl looked good when she was a child, but I don’t know what has happened to her in the past few years. She is becoming more and more ignorant as she lives longer!"
The more Uncle Chu thinks about those bastard things Chu Fang said just now, the angrier he becomes, but he is an elder, and as an uncle, no matter how hard he is, he can't argue with his niece, so he can only drive her away.
Shen Luzhu's temper always comes and goes quickly, let alone facing people like Chu Fang and Wang, it is not worth getting angry. The more important thing is to think about how to make them angry: "Let's close the door and live on ourselves." You live your own life and don’t see each other a few times throughout the year. Why should your third uncle be so angry at yourself for your cousin? Besides, you are the elder. If she is disrespectful next time, third uncle, let’s teach her a lesson. Chu Yike and I can They all point to Third Uncle to support us!"
"What Lu Zhu said is, if she dares to bully you and Ayi next time, Third Uncle, I will help you teach her a lesson! Oh, it's the same for father and mother. If you have to ask Chu Fang to deliver the message, you are getting more and more confused. Already!"
Chu Yi persuaded him and said, "My grandpa probably didn't ask me to do this. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to ask his cousin to show his respect. Third uncle, please don't worry about it!"
Shen Luzhu agreed with Chu Yi's statement. With Mr. Chu's temperament, even if he wanted money and wanted to be filial, he would never be able to ask Chu Fang to come and ask for it for the sake of face. It was Grandma Chu or Mrs. Wang who instigated it, she thought it was credible!
"Yes, Third Uncle, didn't you also say that it's our duty to show filial piety on my grandpa's birthday? Then why should we care about who arranged it for Chu Fang to come here?"
Uncle Chu nodded, holding up his nephew and saying to his nephew and wife that it made sense. With his father's temperament, he really couldn't do this, but when he thought that this might be someone else's deliberate instigation, he felt even more unsatisfied. , for myself, and even more for Chu Yi and his wife: "Returning rice, flour, food and oil, and sending gifts and money, isn't this a clear plan to plot your money!"
Chu Xiuxiu, who was following by the side, had just witnessed the whole process, and remembered the previous separation of the family, and felt very sorry for the family: "If you don't give it to them, you can't take advantage of them!"
Hearing this, Shen Luzhu patted Chu Xiuxiu on the shoulder: "Xiuxiu is right, we can't take advantage of them!"
Uncle Chu was hesitant: "Wouldn't it be bad if I didn't give you any filial piety money?"
Shen Luzhu smiled mysteriously: "Third uncle, don't worry, my grandpa is celebrating his birthday. As juniors, we naturally can't ignore it no matter what!"
After saying that, without waiting for Uncle Chu's reaction, he turned to Chu Yi, who had been sitting next to her to take care of him, and said, "Chu Yi, let's go to grandpa's house together in the afternoon?"
Although Chu Yi didn't know what his wife wanted to do when she suddenly went to Grandpa's house, he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to Ah Zhu."
The young couple had lunch in their room and had a good sleep. After waking up, they strolled to Uncle Chu's new house.
When the two arrived, Uncle Chu's shop was still open. Mrs. Li was introducing the price to a customer who came to buy a coffin in the shop, while Ms. Wang was selling paper money behind the counter.
Seeing Chu Yi and his wife suddenly coming to the door, Ms. Wang was just a little surprised, but Ms. Li felt a little bit in her heart, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had just stopped Wang and didn't ask her to follow Chu Fang to the old house. You're messing around over there, look at these two couples coming to your door now! ..
"How come my cousin and siblings are free to come over?"
On the way here, Shen Luzhu had already told Chu Yi all his thoughts. The young couple did not plan to stay at Uncle Chu's house for too long. They planned to make a quick decision and then go home to stay more comfortable.
Chu Yi didn't hesitate and said straight to the point: "My cousin came home this morning and said that my grandpa is having a birthday on the third day of the lunar month next month..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li felt even more happy than before.
As expected, the two of them came here to settle accounts. If the worst happened later, they would all blame it on Chu Fang. Who knew she was the one who instigated this matter?
It was too late and then it was too late, but Chu Yi suddenly changed the topic and said: "I don't know how big the occasion is that I plan to handle, so we should be prepared to show filial piety accordingly."
When Wang heard this, she immediately became energetic and thought that Chu Fang was indeed right. How could this person not care about face and not be afraid of being judged by the people in the village? This young couple was no exception. Chu Fang had just been there this morning. , this person came over in the afternoon to discuss how much filial piety should be paid!
Mrs. Wang cleared her throat and pretended to say: "Your grandpa's birthday is going to be a big event at home. No matter how bad it is, we can't miss it, otherwise the villagers will talk about it, don't you think?" "
Shen Luzhu felt happy in her heart, but she showed a very reluctant look on her face, and said with a smile but not a smile: "That's what I said."
When Mrs. Wang saw that Shen Luzhu was defeated, she felt even more proud, so she even wanted to ask the two of them to pay more money: "Although we have separated our families now, no matter what, we are still your elders. It's time to fulfill your filial piety." Don’t be stingy.”
The people looking at the coffins in the shop heard the commotion and turned their heads to look this way. Seeing this, Shen Luzhu hurriedly acted like he was afraid that others would think he was unfilial, so he pretended to be generous: " My aunt is absolutely right, Chu Yi and I do intend to show more filial piety, but my uncle and my aunt are here, so it’s hard for me to do things without you!"
Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, Mrs. Shen really knew how to put on a show. In order to force Shen Luzhu to submit, she specially brought over an aunt who came to buy paper money: "Your grandpa is happy. Face is the most important thing. You have money and If you have the ability, just send more, and you don’t have to consider us. If you don’t believe me, ask this old sister-in-law, does what I say make sense?”
When the aunt came to buy something in someone else's shop, naturally she couldn't refute the host's face: "That's right. The most important thing is that the elders who have passed their birthdays feel comfortable."
Shen Luzhu paused deliberately, as if he was forced to suffer this embarrassing loss, gritted his teeth and said: "It's still not easy to overtake my aunt, but I do have to make my grandpa happy. Otherwise, aunt You are still in charge. You said we can handle it for you. I don’t know how many tables my mother-in-law plans to host. I will do it in the yard of the old house when the time comes, so I don’t have to go back and finish the matter. Grandma, grandma, and my mother-in-law have to do it. Cleaned up!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing: "Oh, that's great. Then I'll thank you and the couple on behalf of my father. You are really filial grandchildren. I'll have a good talk with my father and mother in a while, and by the way, I'll also inform the village. My fellow countrymen, my sister-in-law, and a few others, all of whom I heard today have a share. When the time comes, they will all go to the old house for a banquet. Just tell me my name!"
Mrs. Li listened for a long time, always ready to help Mr. Wang. But she didn't expect that the young couple Shen would be settled by Mr. Wang in just a few seconds. Although she couldn't believe it, she didn't feel anything. What is the problem.
Although Chu Ren had warned her a lot before going out, telling her to keep an eye on Mrs. Wang and not to let her cause trouble again and bring disgrace to her family, Ms. Li knew that it was Mr. Shen and his wife who did the bad things every time. Every time, Wang was prevented from fighting over there, but it was different today. Not only was Shen the one who sent her to the door, Wang had the upper hand, so there was nothing to stop her!
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, my aunt, Chu Yi and I will go back first!" After saying that, Shen Luzhu seemed to be afraid that Wang would come up with any ideas again, so he took Chu Yi's arm and walked out.
After walking out of the sight of Uncle Chu's shop, Shen Luzhu stopped and quietly looked back: "Chu Yi, did I just act like I was running away?"
Chu Yi smiled and tapped his wife's forehead: "Like!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Luzhu was walking back with him, thinking: "If I had walked faster just now, it would have been more like it!"
"Azhu, you can't walk too fast."
"I know, so you see, I didn't walk very fast. I just said that, that's all. I'm hungry and want to eat the custard you cooked without adding oil!"
"Okay, I'll go back and do it for you."
Shen Luzhu went back and ate the custard made by Chu Yi again, and then chatted with Jiang Juan and a few children in the yard. In a blink of an eye, Jiang Juan was already at Chu's house.
I have lived in the old house for almost a decade, and in the past two days I have been hesitating whether to go back to Jiang's house.
"Cousin, do you think I should go home and have a look? Xiaobao and I have been living here for almost ten days. I don’t know how my father, mother, and brother are doing at home. I don’t know how Brother Ding is. Are you still in the village?"
Ever since Jiang Juan came to live in the Chu family's old house, the Jiang family has been saying that Jiang Juan took Xiaobao to a relative's house in another town. They were afraid that if Ding An discovered that she was actually at the Chu family, she would set out Before, Jiang Juan had specifically told the Jiang family that no one should come to the Chu family to see her. Even in the Chu family, Jiang Juan rarely went to the front shop.
In this way, Ding An did not come to the door, but Jiang Juan herself didn't know anything about the news from the Jiang family. That's why she was so entangled, wanting to go back, but she was afraid that if Ding An was in the village, And it's not like he hit the target again.
In fact, the Jiang family was not sure whether Ding An was in the village or not. After Ding Anxiang believed that Jiang Juan was indeed not in the Jiang family, she stopped visiting the house every day. It was just that she might come again after a few days, and the Jiang family also I didn't understand whether the catcher had never left the village or whether he had come back again. After all, he didn't dare to go out to inquire, so he could only pretend that nothing happened.
During the period when Jiang Juan lived at home, Shen Luzhu would often talk to her, and occasionally they would talk about Ding An. Shen Luzhu knew that Jiang Juan didn't really hate Ding An, but just like her. She said it herself, she had never thought about the possibility of the relationship between the two, and was shocked by Ding An's sudden confession.
However, it is impossible to say that Jiang Juan likes Ding An and even wants to marry him. However, in Shen Luzhu's opinion, she should have a favorable impression, but these favorable impressions become irrelevant in the face of Jiang Juan's concerns. So important.
"If you can trust me, cousin, just listen to my advice. It's not an option to hide like this all the time. You can live your life how you want. If Capt. Ding comes to find you again, then just have a frank and honest chat with you. .”
In the shade of the yard of the Chu family's old house, the two of them were chatting when they saw Chu Yi suddenly open the back door of the shop, leaned forward and said to his wife and cousin: "A Zhu, Chief Ding is here and wants to see my cousin. one side!"
